Guilt-Free Honey Tahini Chocolate Bites Inspired by a cough drop?

The Story Behind My Guilt-Free Honey Tahini Chocolate Bites

Let me set the scene.

I had one of those days. The kind where your body’s tired, your inbox is a war zone, and the highlight of your afternoon is crying in your car while a cough drop sticks to your sweater like a badge of burnout.

It was herbal — eucalyptus and honey — and oddly, it worked. I could breathe. My head cleared. My mood softened.

“Is this… relief? From a cough drop?”

That tiny, absurd moment led to something better: a dessert that was soothing, uplifting, and good for me. A bite-sized miracle that tasted like calm.
